这是一部以记者的角度来解读官场，试图从执政者和老百姓二者利益关系这个层面上，揭示了"政治利益"和百姓利益之间的矛盾，探讨执政者是为任命他的上级执政还是为民执政的问题，破解发展是硬道理，但硬发展没道理这一命题的小说。它以《发展日报》驻东江省记者站长高扬，河东市委书记韩顺，伟业集团总裁康伟业，这三个工作性质不同，性格各异，追求有别的记者、官员、企业家，因立场不同，对发展的理解、认识也不同。虽然都想发展，但出发点不一样，所追求的效果自然也就不一样。通过环境踏查，矿难暗访，瓦斯爆炸，拒金拒色，婚外恋情等一个个扣人心弦，惊险刺激，香辣色艳的故事片段，并串以各类社会知识、笑话段子，为我们展现了纷繁复杂的社会万象和市井百态。作品如行云流水，将记者的辛苦与伟大表现得淋漓尽致，同地方的协作关系阐述得恰当准确，也对一些官商勾结的内幕予以了无情的揭露，对一些不良记者的行为进行了批判和鞭挞。同时对官场上的貌合神离，钩心斗角；商场上的尔虞我诈，见利忘义；情场上的侠骨柔肠，剑胆琴心均作了画龙点睛的处理。书中涉及的记者职业操守和新闻写作规律及手法探讨，广告与报纸发行的运作技巧等，将是新闻记者有兴趣读下去并收藏的手头必备工具书之一。(This book is based on a journalistic perspective to interpret officialdom.
